Artex removal near Bullbrook
Artex removal for Bullbrook properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and people typically contact us about textured walls before a refit and coatings in the way of electrical work.
In a smaller place like Bullbrook, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Bullbrook: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Bullbrook home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Bullbrook from London?
We cover Bullbrook, about 28 miles from central London.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How much does Artex removal cost in Bullbrook?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
